	Ok, everybody has now read 20 times that Nimrod is the guy mentioned
	in Gen 10:8-12, but now this: what the **** is a "ding-dong"?

I utterly disagree with  everything  you are saying,  but I 
am prepared to fight to the death for your right to say it.

Obviously you aren't a  fan  of  Cheech  and  Chong.  As  I  recall,  their
original  "Blind  Lemon  Chitlin'" sketch had an exchange like this (quoted
without permission):

	"...Ding-dong?  Ding-dong??  What's a ding-dong?"
	{sound of zipper opening}
	"I think he's going to show you, boss."
	"Oh, my God!  You could play jump-rope with that thing! ..."
